A REAL REFORMER.
Senator Qnay Proves He Is Believer in
Civii-Service Reform.

Senator Quay Proves He Is q Believer in
Civii-Service Reform.
Washington Special.
Senator Quay's position as chairman Of the
committee to examine the several branches of
the civil service doubtless means that he will
take a look at times into the operation of the
departments under the Democratic administra-
ton, and probably no better investigator or
critic Of that sort of work could be found. No
necessary to perform certain official work, and
il persons are discharged for political reasons,
one would discover it quicker than he, or
turn it to better account for his party.
The duties of the committee not very
tude That the junior Senator is something of
a civilservice reformer, moreover, may be in
ferred from his failure to object to the re-
tention OF Mr.. j. 3. Potter, of Tioga county, as
clerk of the committee on pensions, to which
attaches the snug salary of 81, 200 year. with
work for only a portion of the year.
Mr. Potter was appointed by ex-senator
Mitchell, and has for years been a vigorous, out
spoken, independent and frank opponent of
Senators Cameron and Quay, and their asso-
ciates. He had no expectation Of being retained
after the reorganization of the committee and
had arranged his affairs to go home TO Tioga
county without making the least attempt to
formed by the chairman of the committee, ap-
pointed to-day, the new Senator from Minnesota,
MIR. Davis, that he could have the clerksrip for
this session. at least, il he wanted it. The re-
quest was the more surprising as Senator Quay
has been announced q member of the commit
tor Mitchelrs friend. the clerk would not have
b0en retained.

When asked about the prospects of legislation
at this session of Congress Mr.. Mcdonald said:
"A strong tariff measure on the lines laid
down by the President ought to, and believe
will, pass Congress the present session. II it
does not the responsibility will lie with the Re-
publican party and with their allies who mask
as Democrats, if there be any such. The fault
will be placed where it belongs. II our friends
in Congress stand by the President we will
sweep the country in the next election.
The matter of disposing of the surplus and
reducing the revenue is not thss only
nor, perhaps, the most important part of the
message. The revenue could be effectually
reduced by adopting prohbi.ory tariff as by
lowering it. It is the method which is most to
the point. It indicates clearly the Democrats
principle of a tariff for revenue only. Further
steps in the same direction will be taken. Our
trade will become freer and freer, our import
taxes confined to smaller and smaller range
of articles. Let me say here that the internal
revenue system must be preserved, for the time
is rapidly approaching when it will be impossible
to collect customs revenue as we do low without
dwarfiug American industry, commerce and
manufacturing If our heavy national expendi-
lures are to be maintained we will be forced TO
rely on our internal revenue system as per-
manent and finally as the chief source of nation
al revenue
